“The Options Class taught by Loren was awesome. As a relatively new trader with less than 1 year of experience, I was able to sit down and understand the concepts from Day 1. He was thorough in explaining the concepts, the strategies and he put them all in terms that were easy to grasp. I'm looking forward to going home and practicing the vertical spread strategies that we learned in class. I am so much more confident when I can identify my overall risk before entering into the trades.”

“Loren is a fantastic instructor with a wealth of knowledge. He was very forthcoming and never continued with instruction without pausing, asking for questions/comments, and answering them all.”

“Options trading is a skill, like basketball or fencing. To learn it from a manual alone is preposterous. And, like fencing, there is on the other side of every trade an actual opponent whose loss is your gain. I can’t imagine anyone better than Loren Newman to teach and coach this field. Loren was present at the very inception of modern options trading. Mastery of every aspect of this world and every turn of its evolution has been his life’s work. Theory and practice are woven together. Before you know what questions to ask, he gives you the answers. Here are the strategies that produce consistent long-term gains. Avoid those tempting set-ups that can produce catastrophic results. Newbies and re-takers: Don’t miss this class.”
